Waiting for over six months for an invoice of an estimate to include the price of the hardware I can acquire on my own without them. Then I was ghosted when I requested it. Shady to say the least.

Reviews
What customers say
Customers praise the installation work: one reviewer said the solar system installation was a great job, and another had a Level 2 home charger installed within 24 hours. Follow-through draws serious complaints: one customer had waited over two months for the online monitor to work again, while promised visits never came; another says they were repeatedly ghosted and an Xcel interconnect took three months too long, causing them to miss the 2025 peak-generation window. One customer also says they waited over six months for an estimate invoice with hardware pricing, then were ghosted after requesting it.
Customer Reviews

This company did a great job of installing our solar system. However, we've been waiting over 2 months for our monitor system to be working online again. We've been told someone will be here and they never come.

Holsen Solar was incredible to work with! They installed my Level 2 EV home charger within 24 hours of contacting them — fast, professional, and super knowledgeable. If you’re in Fargo, Moorhead, or the surrounding Red River Valley area and need a home EV or PHEV charging station installed, I highly recommend Holsen Solar. They made the whole process seamless and delivered excellent quality workmanship. Perfect choice for anyone looking for EV charger installation, solar energy services, or electric vehicle charging solutions in the area.
John Neset
The install team was great, minus the busted mounts & zip-ties that ended up on the lawn.
I'm proof that Ben shouldn't overpromise on the Xcel interconnect as that took 3 freakin' months too long that made me completely miss out on '25 peak generation.
They also completely ghosted me countless many times.
Mark Taggart
Ben and his team have a depth of experiences from residential to rural farms that are well worth getting their team's input. We had an outstanding experience with them and deeply appreciate his lengths of efforts to fulfill our goals!
